Just checked in on 8 yr old who’s supposed to be tidying his bedroom. He’s reading a book, surrounded by Lego and silently pointed to this stuck on his wall. I give up.

We released an IMPACT MANIFESTO, a doc that will guide key aspects of our work for the next 2-3 years, which was written w/ help from members of our National Partnership Network. READ IT: 👉 https://t.co/1wtnN4yA9H

.@SenMarkoLiias Please bring SSB 5354 to a vote. It will mandate universal screening for highly capable services, a practice recognized as a gold standard to increase equity. Both the WSPTA and the WEA have passed resolutions supporting universal screening. #waedu #waleg

Gifted Ed Day 2020, advocacy in action. Representatives from @NAGCGIFTED @WAGifted @NWGCA @waetag and @waOSPI are here in Olympia meeting with WA Legislators, parents and students.

[NW Gifted Child @NWGCA]

Thanks to @unshelfeed for putting something we've seen all too often into focus. (They've made a poster of it, if you have any teachers, librarians, or readers in your life.) #waetag2019

[Institute for Educational Advancement @IEAgifted]

Did you know IEA's Gifted Resource Center contains an abundance of resources and information regarding advocacy, gifted programs and organizations, schools, scholarships, testing and counseling professionals, and the 2e learner? Check it out: https://t.co/LWN915HqTS

The absence of challenge also creates issues later in life, in college or career, when those students find they're lacking the skills to respond when things get tough.

[SENG @SENG_Gifted]

Sadly, by their teen years, many gifted students have lost their passion for learning. Their years of studying class material that doesn’t challenge them may result in depression and boredom.

[WCGE @WAGifted]

Welcome to #WAETAG2019 from your partners at the Coalition and @NWGCA. Thank you for your commitment to our kids! Be sure to stop by our table to say hi and see what we have planned.

What are the social and emotional impacts on gifted individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds? Tiombe-Bisa Kendrick shares some thoughts on this topic in this article from the #SENG library: https://t.co/DL6077fN2Z

[NW Gifted Child @NWGCA]

My son's socks have become part of his identity. His friends now check to see what he's wearing on any particular day. How do your kids express themselves?

[SENG @SENG_Gifted]

Creativity penetrates every aspect of a gifted individual’s life. One way this is often expressed is through fashion and appearance - gifted individuals may wear unusual clothes and hairstyles to express themselves.

Washington State is posed to be a national leader on addressing issues of equity in access to #gifted education. You can help us push #SSB5354 over the line. #waedu #waleg https://t.co/1beGHRf1B0

[NW Gifted Child @NWGCA]

Proud to be a part of the team of organizations in Washington making a difference for our kids and for #giftedminds across the country.

[WCGE @WAGifted]

Joined with @waetag this morning for a great meeting with the office of @PattyMurray to talk about #Javits funding. Javits funds are the only dedicated Federal $ for #gifted. Advocacy matters, from your district all the way to DC.
